TO A MEMBER OF THE SMITH FAMILY 
(With Apologies to F. C. K.) 

Say, 
Now, 

Don't you really think 
You can in some way link 
The classical name of Smith 
With that of myth- 
ology? 

We'll make no apology 
If you'll only try 
Before you die 
To send the fair name of 
Smith 
Smyth 
Smythe or 
Smithers 

Ringing down the corridors of time. 
We don't care 
How or where 
You do it 
What is wanted 
Sadly 
And badly 

Is to have our name planted 
Surely and securely 
In the Hall of Fame. 

And why not? One of us founded the first English 
settlement in America, in 1607, and there are six hundred 
thousand of us here today, without counting our German 
cousins, the Schmitts, Schmits, Schmiths, Schmitzes, 
Schmids, Schmidths, Smits and Schmidts; our French 
cousins, the Le Fevers; the Fabronis from Italy, the 
Gonsulus from Spain, the Smithtowskies from Russia, 
nor the Gavans or Gowans from Ireland and Scotland.

PREFACE 

The primary object of this book is to show the line of 
descent of the author's children from their first ancestor 
in the male Une in this country, as follows: 

Ralph 1 Smith, of Hingham, Mass. 
Thomas ^ Smith, of Eastham, Mass. 
Jesse ^ Smith, Sr., of Dutchess Co., N. Y. 
Jesse * Smith, Jr., of Dutchess Co., N. Y. 
James Phillips ^ Smith, of Dutchess Co., N. Y. 
Ambrose ° Smith, of Fayetteville, N. Y. 
Piatt Hiram ' Smith, of Fayetteville, N. Y. 
L Bertrand « Smith, of Brooklyn, N. Y. 
Ladye Katharine ' Smith. 
Howard Malcom * Smith. 

There have been added the names and records of all 
ancestors, other than the above, which the author has been 
able to obtain, and also the names and records of nearly 
all descendants of Jesse Smith, Jr., in both male and fe- 
male lines. The arrangement may seem confusing at 
first glance, but the author believes that with a little 
examination it will be found quite simple. Each family 
has been given a number which will be found in its proper 
place in consecutive order. 

The material gathered by the author relating to the 
descendants of Ralph Smith will appear in a later edi- 
tion, after a more exhaustive search has been made. 
Only the families of the second generation from Ralph 
are recorded in this edition. i ■' < 

For several years after the writer's first attempt to 
trace his ancestors of the name of Smith he was unable 
to make any progress, beyond the "Dutchess County 
families," owing to a vague tradition, the most that 
parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles could give, 
which directed him to Long Island as the proper locality 
for research. He devoted manv hours in the libraries of 



10 Preface 

New York and vicinity, looking for the connecting link 
between his ancestors in Dutchess County and the great 
colony of Smiths at Smithtown, Long Island, knowing 
well that if he succeeded in tracing the line to that locality 
he would then have to unravel a tangle which has de- 
feated many careful genealogists. All work done on the 
Long Island families was declared useless and all of the 
material gathered was thrown away, upon finding in an 
old note book, made by Anna Smith, daughter of Cap- 
tain Ephraim Smith, and now in possession of Miss Geneva 
Armstrong, the following memorandum: "James Phil- 
lips came from Cape Cod with Jesse Smith. He had one 
son and he married Sylla Smith, the daughter of Jesse 
Smith." 

This clue led to a visit to Cape Cod and an inspection 
of the old records at Orleans, Mass.. where the record of 
the births of the children of Jesse Smith was found and 
among them the "Sylla" (Priscilla) mentioned above. 

In Volume IV of the "Mayflower Descendant," at page 
141, was found the record of births of the children of 
Thomas Smith, the father of Jesse. 

This book contains copies of wills, documents, etc., 
which prove each generation of the line of descent, shown 
above, down to the writer's grandfather, Ambrose Srnith. 

The writer will appreciate any corrections or additions 
which may be sent to him.

CHAPTER I 

THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH OUR 
FIRST ANCESTOR LIVED IN AMERICA 



/ 



CHAPTER I 

The Conditions Under Which Our First Ancestor 

LIVED in America 

Ralph Smith came from Hingham, Norfolk County, 
England, in 1633, and was one of the first settlers of 
Hinghara, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Of this 
there can be no doubt. Mr. Daniel Cushing in his record 
states that "Ralph came from Old Hingham, 1633, and 
lived in this town." Mr. Cushing placed the figure (1) 
after Ralph's name, inchcating that he brought no family 
with him. His name first appears upon the Hingham re- 
cords in 1637, when he drew a house-lot on "Batchelor 
Row," (now Main street,) at or near Pear Tree Hill, the 
steep bluff at the beginning of the "Lower Plain." This 
grant of land was bounded on the north by that of Thomas 
Barnes. 

Hingham, Plymouth County, Mass., is located about 
twelve miles from Boston, by water, and twenty-six 
miles from Plymouth. It is bounded on the north by 
Boston Harbor, on the east by Cohasset, on the west by 
Weymouth, and on the south by Situate and Abingdon. 

Hon. John D. Long, in the History of Hingham, Vol. I, 
page 201, says Hingham is one of the oldest towns in 
Massachusetts. There were settlers here as early as 1633. 
Its first name was Bare Cove, owing, probably, to the 
exposure, at low tide, of almost the entire bottom of the 
harbor or cove in front of the town. 

So far as it had any legislative recognition, it was in- 
corporated September 2, 1635, only eleven towns having, 
in that respect, an earlier date. Perhaps, however, the 
term incorporation is not appropriate in this connection, 
the brief order which the General Court, consisting of 
the Governor, assistants, and deputies, adopted and en- 
tered on that day being as follows: "The name of Bare 
Cove is changed and hereafter to be called Hingham."

16 Jesse Smith 

Mr. Solomon Lincoln, the historian of Hingham, Mass.^ 
in 1827, gives the following interesting facts: 

"The exact date at which anj^ individual came here to 
reside cannot be ascertained. Among the papers of Mr. 
Gushing, there is a 'list of the names of such persons as 
came out of the town of Hingham, and towns adjacent, 
in the County of Norfolk, in the Kingdom of England^ 
^into New England, and settled in Hingham.' From this 
list we are led to beheve there were inhabitants here as 
early as 1633, and among them Ralph Smith, Nicholas 
Jacob, with his family, Thomas Lincoln, weaver, Ed- 
mund Hobart and his wife, from Hingham, and Thomas 
Hobart with his family, from Windham, in Norfolk, 
England." 

In 1635 there was a considerable increase of the num- 
ber of settlers, and grants of land were made to upwards 
of fifty individuals, of which a record is preserved. In 
1638 one hundred and thirty-three persons came in the 
ship "Dihgent," John Martin, Master, and settled in 
Hingham. These first settlers were men of character and 
force, of good Enghsh blood, whose enterprise and vigor 
were evident in the very spirit of adventure and push 
which prompted their outset from the fatherland and 
their settlement in the new country. They were of the 
Puritan order, rather than of the Pilgrim element that 
settled at Plymouth a few years earlier. The distinction 
between the two is now well understood. The Pilgrims 
were Brownists or Separatists, later called Independents, 
opposed to the national church, insisting on separation 
from it, and reducing the religious system to the simplest 
form of independent church societies. It was natural 
that the spirit that led to reform and greater simphcity 
in church methods and organization, which was the aim 
of the Puritans, should go still further and demand entire 
separation and independence, which was Separatism, and 
of which the most illustrious type is found in the Pilgrims 
who sailed in the ''Mayflower," and settled in Plymouth 
in 1620. Those who thus went to the extreme of ecclesi- 
astical independence were consistent in granting the same 
liberty to others which they claimed for themselves; it 



His Ancestors and Descendants 17 

is true that the Pilgrims were more tolerant than the 
Puritans. 

There is sometimes, undoubtedly, an inclination to 
exaggerate the religious element in the early settlements 
of New England. It was a mixed purpose that animated 
our forefathers. There was in them the genius of adven- 
ture and enterprise, which in later days has peopled our 
own West with their descendants; there was the search 
for fortune in new countries over the sea; there was the 
spirit of trade and mercantile investment; there was the 
hope of new homes, and the ardor of new scenes, all 
clustering around what was unquestionably the central 
impulse, to find a larger religious freedom than the re- 
strictions, legal or traditional, of the old country af- 
forded. In these first settlements the ministers were the 
leaders. Their influence was supreme. 

But with all this there was still, all the time, an im- 
mense deal of human nature. The picture of the early 
time, if it could be reproduced, would present a body of 
men and women engaged in the ordinary activities of life, 
cultivating the farms, ploughing the seas, trading with 
foreign lands and among themselves, engaged in near and 
remote fisheries, maintaining the school, the train-band, 
and the church, holding their town-meetings — a people 
not without humor, not altogether innocent of greed and 
quarrel and heart-burning, yet warm with the kind and 
neighborly spirit of a common and independent fellow- 
ship. They were neither visionary philosophei's nor 
religious fanatics. Their early records deal with every- 
day details of farm and lot, of domestic affairs, of stray- 
ing cattle and swine, of runaway apprentices and scolding 
wives, of barter with the Indians, of whippings and stocks 
and fines for all sorts of naughtinesses, of boundaries 
and suits, of debt and legal process and probate, of elec- 
tions and petty offices, civil and mihtary, with now and 
then the alarum of war and the inevitable assessment of 
taxes. They smack very much more of the common con- 
cerns of this world than of concern for the next. 

The first church in Hingham was formed in September, 
1635, by Rev. Peter Hobart of Hingham, England, who 



18 Jesse Smith 

came in June of that year. Mr. Hobart was educated 
at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 
1625. He declined the invitations of several settlements 
to become their pastor, preferring to join that at Bare 
Cove, where manv of his fellow-townsmen in the old coun- 
try were already established. 

The first settlers of Eastern Massachusetts did not find 
the country covered with an unbroken forest; but from 
early writers we learn that there were large tracts of land 
entirely clear of trees and bushes, and that on the high 
lands, where any trees grew, in many places they stood 
at such distances apart that the grass grew luxuriantly 
between them. Mr. Grus, of Salem, wrote in 1627: 
"The country is very beautiful. Open lands, mixed in 
goodly woods, and again open plains, in some places five 
hundred acres, some more and some less. * * * * 
Not much troublesome to clear for the plough. The 
grass and weeds grow up to a man's face. In the low 
lands, and by fresh rivers, there are large meadows with- 
out a tree or bush." 

The burning of the grass and leaves by the Indians is 
mentioned by Morton in 1632. He says: "The savages 
burn over the country that it may not be overgrown 
with underwood. It scorches the older trees, and hinders 
their growth." 

Wood, in 1634, said: "In many places divers acres 
are cleared, so that one may ride a hunting in most places 
of the land. There is no underwood, save in the swamps 
and low grounds, for it being the custom of the Indians 
to burn the woods in November, when the grass is with- 
ered and leaves dried." 

Thus it is evident that the first settlers of Hingham 
were not obliged to cut down the forest to clear the land 
before they could plant their crops; but they evidently 
found enough cleared to plant as many acres as they 
desired. It was the custom of the Indians to prepare the 
soil for a crop of Indian corn by placing in each hill, with 
the corn, three Uttle fishes. This practice they taught 
the first settlers, who followed it until oxen were intro- 
duced, when the plough and ox labor were used instead 
of the hoe and hand labor. 



His Ancestors and Descendants 19 

At a very early period it was found necessary to grow 
other crops besides Indian corn. Pumpkins were among 
the first of garden crops; these were followed by the 
parsnip, carrot, turnip, onion, beet, and cabbage. Po- 
tatoes were not introduced into New England until 1719. 
Other field crops grown were wheat, rye, oats, barley, 
beans, flax, and hemp. The two last named were grown 
and used for making clothing. 

The soil of Hingham is fair and in many places rich, and 
its successful cultivation led to the rapid increase in the 
number and area of the "planting fields" which were 
granted from time to time. The almost circular harbor, 
surrounded and protected on all sides by hills clothed 
with a growth of oak, pine, and cedar, and guarded at its 
entrance by three beautiful islands, which, like faithful 
sentinels, stood for protection against the storms, called 
attention to Hingham as an advantageous point for the 
construction of craft of various description and size, and 
the development of a prosperous foreign trade. Ship- 
yards and wharves soon dotted the shore and multiplied 
with astonishing rapidity; and many a stately vessel 
received her baptism and commenced her perilous career 
in the little bay. The commerce which was subsequently 
one of the chief sources of local wealth began almost with 
the birth of the town. 



CHAPTER II 

THE ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS 
OF JESSE SMITH 



FIRST GENERATION 

1 Ralph ' Smith, of Hingham, Mass., was born 
probably about 1610, in Hingham, Norfolk, England. 

The record of Ralph Smith's marriages has not been 
found. He was married to his first wife while in Hing- 
ham, Mass., where he remained until about 1653. As late 
as Sept. 22, 1652, he is spoken of in the probate records of 
Suffolk County, Mass., as "Ralph Smyth of Hingham" 
(N. E. Reg. VIII, 61). The baptisms of the four children 
born in Hingham are recorded there. The birth of his 
daughter, Deborah, on March 8, 1654, is recorded at 
Eastham, Mass., which establishes the date of his re- 
moval to that town as between Sept, 1652, and March, 
1654. Freeman's History of Cape Cod (page 359), gives 
the list of legal voters in Eastham May 22, 1655, showing 
Ralph to be the only Smith there at that time. He took 
the "oath of fidelity" in Eastham on Oct. 25, 1657, and 
was made Constable of that town in 1660. (Plymouth 
Colony Records, VIII. 184.) In 1664 he was "trading' 
with Josias Hobart of Hingham, Mass. 

After the death of his first wife he married Grace, the 
widow of Thomas Hatch, and the following "Court 
Order" indicates that he died before its date: "Oct, 27, 
1685 — Administration is granted by this court to Grace 
Smith, relict of Ralph Smith, and Samuel Smith, son to 
the said Ralph Smith, all of the town of Eastham, in 
the Colony of New-Plymouth in New-England, deceased, 
on all goods and chattels of said Ralph Smith." (Plym. 
Col. Rec. VI. 175.) 

The name of this family in Norfolk County, England, 
was invariably spelled "Smyth," and Ralph continued to 
use this form during his life. His sons thereafter signed 
their name "Smith." The Astor Library in New York 
has the following record:

further record. 



SECOND GENERATION 

2 Samuel = Smith (Ralph'), of Eastham, Mass., 
was baptised in Hingham, Mass., July 11, 1641. His 
marriage is recorded in Eastham, January 3, 1665, to 
Mary^ Hopkins (Gyles, ^ Stephen'), who was born in 
Yarmouth, Mass., 1640, and died in Eastham, March 20, 
1696-7. He died March 22, 1696-7. He was a trader, 
and Constable of Eastham, 1670. His will, recorded 
Liber 2, Folio 47, mentions John, to have " ye half of two 
farms at Monomoy," and Mary, "ye half of two farms at 
Monomoy with her brother John." Eastham Records 
say he had a "sonne born and died in Mch, 1667." The 
births of his children are all recorded at Eastham. 

Children: 

i Samuel, ^ born in Eastham, Mass., May 26, 1668, 
died there Sept. 22, 1692. He married. May 26, 



His Ancestors and Descendants 25

Their children were: Samuel, * born in Eastham, 
Feb. 13, 1690-1, married Abigail Freeman, Oct. 9, 
1712, and Joseph, ^ born in Eastham. Oct. 9, 1692, 
married Mary Hopkins, June 24, 1715. The two 
children had, in the distribution of their grandfather 
Samuel Smith's estate in 1697, equal shares with 
their uncle and aunt, as follows: "Samuel Smith 
and Joseph Smith issue of said eldest son, Samuel, 
shall have to them or their heirs forever a farm at 
Monomoy, that Gaboon lives on" (Liber 2, Folio 59). 

ii ]\Iary, born in Eastham, January 3, 1669, married 
Daniel Hamilton, who was born in 1690 and died in 
Chatham, Mass., in 1738. 

iii Joseph, born in Eastham, April 10, 1671, died there, 
September 22, 1692. 

iv John, born in Eastham, May 26, 1673, and died in 
Chatham, Mass., before February 25, 1717. He 
married, May 14, 1694, Bethiah Snow, daughter of 
Stephen ^ Snow (Nicholas ') and Susanna ^ Deane 
(Stephen '). Her grandmother, Constance Hopkins, 
wife of Nicholas Snow, was the daughter of Stephen 
Hopkins of the "Mayflower." They had: James,* 
born February 13, 1694-5, died. May 27, 1696; 
Samuel, * born May 21, 169Q; Deane, * John \ Stephen *, 
David *, Seth \ Mercy *, Mary *, and Bethia \

baptised in Hingham, Mass., July 23, 1644. He married, 
in Eastham, May 24, 1667, Hannah Williams, daughter 
of Thomas, of Plymouth, and EHzabeth Tate, who were 
married November 30, 1638. John Smith probably had 
nine children, but only Elizabeth and Sarah are recorded 
at Eastham. The will of Thomas Williams, dated May 
10, 1692, gives John Smith, my grandchild, a lot of 
meadow land in Eastham. 
Children: 
i Elizabeth ', born in Eastham, February 24, 1668, 



26 Jesse: Smith 

ii Sarah, born in Eastham, March 27, 1671-2.

4 Daniel 2 Smith (Ralph »), of Eastham, Mass., 
was baptised in Hingham, Mass., March 2, 1647. His 
will, dated May 11, 1716, entered for probate June 20, 
1720, estabUshes his death before the date of probate. 
He married, in Eastham, March 3, 1676, Mary Young, 
daughter of John Young and Abigail Howland, born 
April 28, 1658. Births of his children are all recorded 
at Eastham.

5 Thomas' Smith (Ralph'), of Eastham, Mass., 
was probably born in Hingham, Mass., about 1649 to 

1653. He married Mary about 1681. The 

births of their children are recorded in the Eastham 
Records and shown in the "Mayflower Descendant," 
IV., 141, where the record of her death is given as fol-

Smith was Representative to the General Court at Boston, 
Mass. (Hist. Eastham, page 103.) The date of his 
death is shown by the following will to be between May 10, 
1720, and October 18, 1720.

THIRD GENERATION 

6 Jesse ^ Smith (Sr.) (Thomas 2, Ralph'), born in 
Eastham, January 31, 1703-4. His intention of mar- 
riage is recorded at Eastham, July 4, 1724. His mar- 
riage is recorded in the Eastham Record of Births, Deaths 
and Marriages, on page 61, as follows: "Jesse Smith 
and Sarah Higgins were married by Mr. Samuel Osborn 
in ye month of Sep. 1724." This record is followed by 
the birth of seven children: "Ruth, David, Prisila, Sarah, 



His Ancestors and Descendants 31 

Eunis, Jerusa, and Jesse." These records were copied by 
the writer of this book, in October, 1904, from the original 
entries made by the Town Clerk of Eastham. They are 
now on file in the office of the Town Clerk of Orleans, 
Mass. Jesse Smith came to Dutchess County, N. Y.. in 
1756, with his wife, Sarah, and twelve children. The 
Eastham Records giving only seven children, we are un- 
able to give accurate dates and names of the five born 
between the date of the birth of his son, Jesse, in 1736, 
and his arrival in New York state in 1756. His wife, 
Sarah, born July 13, 1706, in Eastham, Mass., died No- 
vember 17, 1766, and lies buried in Gilead Burying Grounc^^ 
at Carmel, N. Y. He died June 14, 1782, and the writer 
visited the old burying ground at Spencer's Corners, 
about two miles from Millerton, Dutchess Count}^, N. Y., 
in 1903, and there saw his gravestone still standing, beside 
that of his son, Jesse. 

His wife, Sarah Higgins, was the daughter of Benja- 
min ^ Higgins (Benjamin-, Richard*), and Sarah ^ Free- 
man (Lieut. Edmond ^, Major John ^, Edmond'). Major 
John Freeman married Mercy Prence, daughter of Gov- 
ernor Thomas Prence and Patience Brewster, who was 
the daughter of Elder William Brewster Avho came in 
the "Mayflower" in 1620. Thus may all descendants of 
Jesse Smith claim a "Mayflower Ancestor." In anotlier 
part of this book is shown, more clearly, the lines connect- 
ing each descendant with this distinguished ancestor. 
See mil of Benjamin Higgins, dated July 1, 1760, proved 
May 11, 1761 (Barnstable Probate Records, Vol. 12, 
page 153). 

The following is an extract from a letter, dated Decem- 
ber 15, 1904, written by Josiah Paine, of Harwich, Mass., 
the noted genealogist of Cape Cod: "You are right in 
placing Sarah Smith as daughter of Benjamin and Sarah 
Higgins. The will of Benjamin Higgins mentions 'Sarah 
Smith,' a daughter. Benjamin Higgin's wife was daugh- 
ter of Edmond Freeman. So you are a descendant of 
William Brewster, as well as myself, and can join the 
Mayflower Society if you choose. It is an honor to be a 
descendant of the good old Mr. Brewster, the leader of the 
pilgrim band, whom Governor Bradford delighted to 



32 Jesse Smith 

praise, and who well deserved it. There were nothing 
but rugged honesty and charity in his make up, and 
simplicity in his manner." 

Jesse Smith settled near Carmel, N. Y. (now in Putnam 
County), where he was prominent in town and church 
affairs until his removal, after the death of his wife, to 
the Town of Northeast, Dutchess County, where he 
resided until his death. The following extract from a 
report of a survey made of lot number six, of Phillips 
Patent, Dutchess Co. (now Putnam Co.), shoAvs the 
exact location of the farm where Jesse Smith settled, upon 
his arrival in New York state. This report may be 
found, in full, in Pelletreau's History of Putnam County, 
page 289. 

"West line— Thursday, 17 October 1771, began to run

Belden and Moss Kent, Esqrs., Began at a stake and a

marked 'M. P.' on the west side and 'P. P.' on the east 
side and ' 1753 ' on the north side which heap of stones 
lyes in the line of the Manor of Cortland and is also the 
southeasterly corner of Lot No. 5, N. 9 degrees 9 minutes

monument of stones on the south side of a road in a 
run of water about 1 chain from Gabriel Carpenter's

Lake Mahopac, just east of the road running north to the 
Crane Burying Ground.) * * * at 358 chains Wm.

River." 

In the ''Field Book of the Survey of Lot No. 6," made 
April 12, 1762, by Benjamin Morgan, the following per- 
sons are mentioned as living on that part of the lot which 
is now embraced in the Town of Carmel: Jesse Smith, 



His Ancestors and Descendants 33 

Daniel Phillips, Russell Gregory, Timothy Gregory, Rev. 
Elnathan Gregory, Isaac Smith, and others. 

Rev. Ebenezer Knibloe was ordained and installed as 
pastor of the Western Church in Phillip's Patent. The 
call to Mr. Knibloe was brief and to the point, as follows: 
"We, the inhabitants of the Western Society of Phillipi 
do unite and call Mr. Ebenezer Knililoe preacher of ye 
gospel to take the pastoral care of us." This call was 
signed by Jesse Smith, Joseph Gregory and about fifty 
others. Mr. Knibloe remained here until July 11, 1759, 
when he removed to Amenia. The next pastor in Carmel 
was the Rev. Elnathan Gregory. 

Pelletreau, in his History of Putnam County, on page 
315, says: "Gilead P>urying Ground is located about one 
mile southeast of the Village of Carmel and the oldest 
inscription is in memory of 'Sarah, wife of Mr. Jesse 
Smith, who died November 17, 1766.' " 
Children: 

i Ruth ^, born in Eastham, July 18,1725; married 
Andrew Tracy, of Lisbon, Conn., March 30, 1743. 
She died October 13, 1809. 
ii David, born in Eastham, January 28, 1726-7. 
iii Priscilla, born in Eastham, July 20, 1729; married 

Phillips, son of James PhilUps. 

iv Sarah, born in Eastham, July 19, 1731. 
v- Eunice, born in Eastham, February 23, 1732-3; 

married Hughson. 

vi Jerusha, born in Eastham, March 1, 1734-5. 
7 vii Jesse, born in Eastham, February 1, 1736-7. 
The above are all recorded in Eastham. 

viii Lydia, married Nickerson, living in 1759. 

ix Elizabeth, married Thomas Munson and was left a 

widow with two sons. 
X EUjah, born about 1744, died March 19, 1826, in 
Northeast, N. Y., aged 82. He married Lydia 
Munson, daughter of Ebenezer* Munson (Thornas^ 
SamueP, Thomas') and Abigail Hotchkiss. Lydia 
was born in Danbury, Conn.,Vanuary 30, 1745-, 
and died November 11, 1826. Both are interred 
at Spencer's Corners, N. Y. 



34 Jesse Smith 



FOURTH GENERATION 



7. Jesse* Smith, Jr. (Jesse ^ Thomas'', R^lph'), 
whose birth is recorded in Eastham, Mass., February 1, 
1736-7, came to Dutchess County with his father in 1756. 
He died before his father, in Northeast, N. Y., December 
12, 1777, only forty-one years of age — undoubtedly from 
disability incident to his service in the Revolutionary 
War. His gravestone in Spencer's Corners Burying 
Ground has the following inscription: "Mr. Jesse Smith, 
Jnr., died Dec. 12, 1777, in the 41st yr of his age." His 
wife is buried beside him. Pier stone records that " Lydia, 
wife of Mr. Jesse Smith, Jnr., died October 7, 1791, aged 
52." He married, in 1760, Lydia Gregory, daughter of 
Ephraim Gregory, of Danbury, Conn. She was born 
about 1739. Jesse Smith served in the Colonial and 
Revolutionary Wars, as shown by the documents here- 
inafter quoted. It is seldom one finds an ancestor who 
has served in two wars. Ours seems to have made this 
great record in his comparatively short life of forty-one 
years. 

The following letter, in possession of the author, was 
directed, "To Mr. Jesse Smith Liveing at phillipse patten 
in Dutchess County this with care and Speed Dehver": 
"Fort Stanwix, August ye 13: A. D. 1759. 

"Honoured Father & Mother Dear & Cind Brother 
and Sisters I Send my kind Love to you hopeing that 
Thes few Lines may find you all in Good health as thay 
leave me at this present time through ye Divine Goodness 
of God and I would Let you no that I Receaved 2 Letters 
from you Since I have been hear ye first Dated June ye 13;

for a few Days after I came up heare But I have Got 
prity harty and well and blessed be God for it So no 



His Ancestors axd Descendants 35 



more at present But I Still Remain your Son untill 
Death Jesse Smith." 

This letter was written on the "eve of battle," yet see 
how carefully he conceals from his family any thought 
which might cause them anxiety. 

Fort Stanwix was built, early in 1758, by an English 
general. Its name was changed to Fort Schuyler during 
the Revolutionary War. It was located at the " crossing " 
from the Mohawk River to Wood Creek, near Rome, N. Y. 
At the time the above letter was written it was occupied 
by about 3,000 men under Col. Bradstreet. The New 
York troops were in two detachments: the first under 
Lieut. Col. Charles Clinton of Ulster, with Captain Ogden 
of Westchester, Captain Peter Dubois of New York, 
Captain Sam. Bladgely of Dutchess, and Captain Daniel 
W^right of Queens; the second, under Lieut. Col. Isaac 
Corse of Queens, with Captain Elias Hand of Suffolk, 
Captain Richard Hewlet of Queens, Captain Thomas 
Arrowsmith of Richmond, Captain William Humphrey 
of Dutchess, and Captain Ebenezer Seely of Ulster. 

The troops left Fort Stanwix, August 14, 1759, the 
day following the date of the above letter, and passed 
down Wood Creek in bateaux or open boats, through 
Oneida Lake to Oswego, thence down Lake Ontario and 
across the St. Lawrence River and landed within a mile 
of Frontenac (Kingston), on August 25, 1759. Frontenac 
surrendered to Lieut. Col. Corse, on August 27, and the 
magazines, etc., were destroyed by the Americans, who 
returned to Fort Stanwix on September 10, 1759. In 
1760 Fort Stanwix was allowed to decay and was not 
again occupied until 1777, when the Battle of Oriskany 
was fought. (See Jones' Hist. Oneida Co., page 323.) 

The name of Jesse Smith, Jr., appears on the "Roll of 
Honor," Dutchess County, in 1775. His date of enlist- 
ment, April 13, 1777, is given on page 164 of Saffel's Rec- 
ord of the Revolutionary War, and a copy of the issue of 
arms and equipments at Fort Montgomery, June 10, 
1777, given in the New York Genealogical and Biograph- 
ical Record for 1896, shows him to have been a member of 
Philip Dubois Bevier's Company of Colonel Louis Dubois' 
Regiment.

the present site of the Equitable Building in Pine street, 
New York (William Austin, of Fayetteville, enlisted at

pany). He was sent to Camp Scott, Staten Island, thence 
to York, Pa., Perryville, Md., and to Virginia, where he 
served as sergeant major and acting adjutant of the 6th 
Cavalry under Col. Devin until the fall of 1862, when he 
was sent to the Judiciary Square Hospital in Washington 
and was there discharged from the service upon the cer- 
tificate of the surgeon-general that his case was hopeless. 
He returned to Fayetteville, and after ten months of ill- 
ness regained his health. After his recovery, and in the 
fall of 1863, he removed to Fulton, N. Y., in the employ 
of the Oswego Railroad, and while there he organized 
Co. A. of the 184th N. Y. Infantry (Col. Robinson) and

mustered in as adjutant of the regiment, at Oswego, N.

to take command of the regiment and proceed to City 
Point (the Colonel not having joined). In command of 
the regiment he left Elmira for Baltimore, and there 
boarded the steamer "Daniel Webster" for City Point. 
General C.rant was on board, bound for Norfolk. Mr. 
Smith was introduced to the General and spent an hour 
in conversation with him, and often remarked that he 
could never forget General Grant's description of Sher- 
man's march from Chattanooga to Atlanta. At City 
Point he received orders for Bermuda Hundreds, arriving 
there September 22, 1864, and joining the 18th Army 
Corps. His illness returned soon after reaching camp and 
the following winter, while post adjutant at Harrison's 
Landing, he was again obliged to resign and return home, 
where he slowly recovered. After several business ven- 
tures he accepted a position, in 1868, as superintendent 
of weighers in the Custom House at New York, where he 
remained nine years. In 1879 he formed a co-partnership 
with former Sheriff Daggett, and took the contract to 
weigh all imports entering the port of New York that 
paid specific duty. 

The Government deciding to abolish the contract sys- 
tem caused him to retire after three years, and he there-

after devoted his time to real estate until he organized 
and became vice president and cashier of the l:iedford 
Bank of Brooklyn, where he remained until that bank was 
reorganized as the Bedford Branch of the People's Trust 
Company. He then accepted the presidency of the 
Brevoort Savings J^ank of Brooklyn.

many years in the 23d Ward of I3rooklyn, and was an 
organizer of the Union League Club of that city and a 
Presidential Elector on the Republican Ticket in 1892. He 
was also one of the incorporators of the Brooklyn Heights 
Railroad Company, and of the Brooklyn Real Estate 
Exchange, being the first treasurer of the latter. He was 
an organizer of the People's Trust Company, the Bedford 
Bank, the Brevoort Savings Bank, and others. He was 
treasurer of the organization which erected the eques- 
trian statue of General Grant in Grant Square, Brooklyn.

The story of the "Mayflower" and Plymouth Rock is

gregational Church at Scrooby, England, its escape to 
Holland, its migration from thence to Plymouth, 
and its establishment there as the first embodiment in 
America of freedom in the church and equality in the 
State. 

William Brewster cradled the church at Scrooby, in his 
own home. He devoted his means to the support of its 
ministers and the succor of its members. After suffering 
fine and imprisonment and risking his life for this heresy, 
he helped the little flock to Holland, where his duty as 
elder intrusted him especially with the discipline and 
building up of the church and the preservation therein 
of soundness of doctrine. This duty he successfully 
performed with great gentleness and equal firmness. 
While in Leyden his arrest was sought for publishing 
Protestant books for circulation in England and Scotland. 

That he drafted the Compact of November 21, 1620, in 
the cabin of the " Mayfiovrer " seems almost certain. 
That he was the moral, religious, and spiritual leader of 
the Colony during its first years of peril and struggle, and 
its chief civil adviser and trusted guide until the time of 
his death, is cjuite certain. But for his ecclesiastical po- 
sition he would have been Governor of the Colony. He 
was of gentle birth, educated at Cambridge, a courtiei' 
before he was twenty years of age, in high esteem with 
Her Majesty's Secretary of State, treated by him more 
like a son than a servant, and soon a member of the 
English Embassy at Holland. And this scholar worked 
with his own hands to build his house in Plymouth, and 
afterwards in Duxbury, and up to the age of nearly 
eighty years helped to cultivate his own farm. His li- 
brary was inventoried at his death, in 1644, at four hun- 
dred volumes. For thirty years his learning and knowl- 
edge were devoted constantly, utterly, and superbly to 
the people with whom he had cast his hazardous lot. All 
he could learn he freely imparted to those he taught. 
There is no record that he ever asked for or received any 
salary. He was a scholar and preacher from the people, 
with the people, for the people, and to the people, and in 
their close companionship of toil and danger the people 



His Ancestors and Descendants 109 

did indeed hear him gladly. Of their place of worship 
and order of assembling De Rasiere gives this interesting 
sketch : 

"Upon the hill they had a large square house, with a 
flat roof, made of thick sawn planks, stayed with oak 
beams, upon the top of which they have six cannons, 
which shoot iron balls of four and five pounds, and 
command the surrounchng country. The lower part 
they use for their church, where they preach on Sundays 
and the usual holidays. They assemble by beat of drum, 
each with his musket or firelock, in front of the captain's 
door; they have their cloaks on, and place themselves in 
order, three abreast, and are led by a sergeant without 
beat of drum. Behind comes the Governor, in a long, 
robe; beside him on the right hand comes the preacher 
with his cloak on, and on the left hand the captain with 
his sidearms and cloak on, and with a small cane in his 
hand; and so they march in good order, and each sets 
his arms down near him. Thus they enter their place of 
worship, constantly on their guard night and day." 

The devout elder was regarded with the utmost venera- 
tion and reverence in his later years by the colonists of 
the eight towns into which the little settlement of 1620 
had grown. The popular impression of the old patriarch 
pictures him with the austere severity and rigid narrow- 
ness of an old iron-sides. Nothing could be further from 
the truth. Of his personal qualities Bradford sa3's: 

"He was wise and discreet and well spoken, having a 
grave and deliberate utterance, of a cheerful spirit, very 
sociable and pleasant amongst his friends, of an humble 
and modest mind, undervaluing himself and his own abil- 
ities, and sometimes overvaluing others. He had a sin- 
gular good gift in prayer, both public and private. He 
always thought it were better for ministers to pray oftener, 
and divide their prayers, than be long and tedious in the 
same." 

How superior the wise, peaceful, just, and courageous 
policy of the Plymouth Colony, in its treatment of the 
Indians and its fellow colonies! And the man who 
always had the last word in these important matters — 
the Joshua and Nestor of the plantation — was Elder

Piatt Hiram Smith. 201. 
Rudolph ^ was a professor in a German L'niversity, 
the name at that time being "von Snellin.'' A tradition 
of the family is that three brothers came from Manheim, 
Germany, about 1755. One settled in Vermont, another 
in Tillebrough, Fulton County, X'. Y., and the third at 
Snell's Bush, Town of Manheim. Herkimer County, X. Y. 
Another tradition says Johan Jost ^ came in the "X'ep- 
tune " in 1754. A grant of 3,600 acres was made to Johan 
Jost^ Snell and Jacob Timmerman in 1755, in Herkimer 
County. It is recorded that there were nine sons of 
Johan Jost ^ Snell in the Battle of Oriskany and that 
seven were killed on that day. So far as the writer has 
been able to obtain them, the names of the sons of Johan 
Jost ^ who ched on that battlefield were Frederick, X'ich- 
olas, Suffrenus, Joseph, Jacob. George, and John. A son 
of George, named John, was also killed there. The story 
of this bloody Battle of Oriskany, gi\'ing full credit to 
these hardy pioneers, has never been written. It was 

117

made up of hand to hand struggles in a forest, or rather 
in a swamp. Of General Herkimer's force of about eiglit 
hundred Palatine farmers, barely one-half lived after 
that terrible three hours. 

It is recorded that four of the sons of Johan Jost 
Snell gave to the town seven acres of land for a church, 
and twelve acres for a school. The church and school

in partnership with Jacob Grouse, his brother-in-law, con- 
ducted the firm of Snell & Grouse until 1850, when he re- 
moved to Fayetteville, N. Y., where he was in business 
for many years under the firm name of Snell & Smith, etc. 
He was director and vice-president of the National Bank 
of Fayetteville, N. Y., for man}- years, vmtil his death. 
He was a man of strict integrity and was greatly respected 
by his fellow citizens. He and his wife, Lucinda, were 
consistent members and regular attendants of the Fay- 
etteville Baptist Church during their residence in that 
village. They were also generous contributors to the 
church and its charities. They are revered to this day by 
many who were the recipients of their quiet and unos- 
tentatious charity. Their son, Oscar, born March 26, 
1839. ched August 25, 1855; and their daughter, Ella 
Eugenia, who was born October 12, 1855, died February
